Half of the problem with collective indecisiveness is blank slate syndrome. Blogger Jon Bell recommends providing a poor suggestion to a group in order to get better ideas from everyone involved.

Coming up with an idea out of the ether is difficult. Whether it's deciding where to eat, or picking a group activity, conjuring up something everyone will enjoy is a daunting task. If your group is stuck in a rut, try offering an option that nearly everyone will dislike and they may be more inclined to come up with something better. For Jon Bell and his group, recommending McDonald's seems to get the brain juices flowing:

It’s as if we’ve broken the ice with the worst possible idea, and now that the discussion has started, people suddenly get very creative. I call it the McDonald’s Theory: people are inspired to come up with good ideas to ward off bad ones.

The concept works on more than just meal locations. Creativity is born out of brain movement, not stagnation. If you find yourself struggling to come up with a good idea, start with a bad one and try to build on it.
